Peugeot Partner: body, structure & corrosion MOT failures
Of the 929,792 Peugeot Partner MOT tests in this dataset, 5.5% recorded at least one body, structure & corrosion failure. It shows up most on 2000 and 2002 cars.
The one to take seriously on older cars — corrosion to structural areas can be costly and is an MOT failure. Typical repair cost: £200–£1,500+ (rough UK ballpark, not a quote).
